As of 3:30 p.m. today, Power was restored to bldg. 22 but there may still be some areas still without power.
All systems are up and running at this time but we are still experiencing an issue with our internal and external
swipe card readers not working due to the power outage. Campus police were contacted and have advised that things
are still coming up sporadically on campus and that when power is fully restored to the campus, that that should resolve the issue occurring with the card readers. They did not give an estimate of when this might occurr. At this time they are still not working and no one will be able to access this building.
At 2:15pm today, Boca campus experienced a power outage and there may be some areas still without power.
The outage is being addressed and we hope to have power fully restored as soon as possible.
